twiqz Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Alright so i set my alarm this morning to wake up at 9:55am and make like a zombie to my computer(presale for the Pittsburgh show starts at 10am) I hop on the computer and keep clicking my refresh button until i see presale lit up. It directs me to the next page which i select ticket rush and paste in my passcode of "STRINGS" thinking ide get the best seats i select 2 under the highest priced amount tickets (97). I enter in the security key and click submit. Now this had taken me approx 10 seconds(that might actually be long , possibly 5-8 seconds if we get technical). Anyhow guess what seats i was given for being 'first in line'.... Section 6 row K..... Wait wait wait, Ok there are a total of 9 sections (10 including the PIT) for Pittsburghs Venue 'POST GAZETTE PAVIOLION'. Your telling me ...A coldplay fan who has never sat at the post gazette pavilion to see Coldplay further than Sections 1,2 and 3 (Front sections closer to the stage) that the best ticket you have to offer for 97 bucks is behind an entire section and row K? Heres another funny thing. They have an option to select RESV 3 (its a lower priced ticket for $35) and the seats i got were section 6 row Y. CAN ANYONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE HECK SITTING 15 ROWS BEHIND ROW K IS WORTH 60 MORE BUCKS FOR A TICKET???? These Presales are a joke. All the vendors (who i like to call scalpers) RUIN it for everyone. Coldplay needs to have their own presale like that had bad in 2004 where if your a member of coldplay.com you can purchase"VIP" tickets that were within the 1st 15 rows of seeing them live...Hell for my money back then i got a X&Y tin, headphones and a tour badge that game extra with my ticket.... Wait wait! SEEMS I CAN GET SECTION 1 ROW J, AND I FOUND IT ON STUBHUB.COM.....GUESS HOW MUCH Lower Pavilion 1 J 2 $1,118.00 each NOW THATS A GREAT DEAL!!! Thanks scaplers!!! YOUR THE GREATEST!

coldplay_is_louve. Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 i know! i was on right at ten and i have shit seats for the philly show. fuck livenation. :dozey:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kmm1482 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 AMEN!!! I got on at 10 o'clock and 1 friggin second. I want THE best seats so I go for the $97.50! Closest I could get is Section 900, about three whole sections back from the stage!!!!!!!!! Not anywhere NEAR the front of the stage, the pit. Is it all the dickheads who hack in and then scalp the tickets or are the better seats only on sale the actual day of the sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polkahard Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm with all of you. 7 AM rolls around (I'm on the West Coast buying tickets) and I get absolutely NOTHING. Ten minutes later, I finally find some tickets in the second section. An hour later, I've given up finding anything good and resign myself to half decent seats in the second section that I luckily managed to come up with. It's ridiculous. What happened to catering to the fans? It's impossible with these ticket conglomerates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kmm1482 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I just talked to them. The lady said if I call back tomorrow morning that they could probably give me a refund. She said Coldplay's people only give them certain sections to presell. EEEEEVERY seat is available tomorrow morning. So I'm gonna call back at exactly 10 and see if they can, instead of a refund, just switch me tickets (it doesn't sound like something they'd do, but I'll be persistant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
